Christian reported that commit a430c11f4015 ("intel_idle: Rescan "dead" SMT
siblings during initialization") broke the use case in which both 'nosmt'
and 'maxcpus' are on the kernel command line because it onlines primary
threads, which were offline due to the maxcpus limit.
The initially proposed fix to skip primary threads in the loop is
inconsistent. While it prevents the primary thread to be onlined, it then
onlines the corresponding hyperthread(s), which does not really make sense.
The CPU iterator in cpuhp_smt_enable() contains a check which excludes all
threads of a core, when the primary thread is offline. The default
implementation is a NOOP and therefore not effective on x86.
Implement topology_is_core_online() on x86 to address this issue. This
makes the behaviour consistent between x86 and PowerPC.

Pull vmescape mitigation fixes from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate vmscape issue with indirect branch predictor flushes.
vmscape is a vulnerability that essentially takes Spectre-v2 and
attacks host userspace from a guest. It particularly affects
hypervisors like QEMU.
Even if a hypervisor may not have any sensitive data like disk
encryption keys, guest-userspace may be able to attack the
guest-kernel using the hypervisor as a confused deputy.
There are many ways to mitigate vmscape using the existing Spectre-v2
defenses like IBRS variants or the IBPB flushes. This series focuses
solely on IBPB because it works universally across vendors and all
vulnerable processors. Further work doing vendor and model-specific
optimizations can build on top of this if needed / wanted.
Do the normal issue mitigation dance:
- Add the CPU bug boilerplate
- Add a list of vulnerable CPUs
- Use IBPB to flush the branch predictors after running guests"

Support for parsing the topology on AMD/Hygon processors using CPUID leaf 0xb
was added in
3986a0a805e6 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Derive CPU topology from CPUID function 0xB when available").
In an effort to keep all the topology parsing bits in one place, this commit
also introduced a pseudo dependency on the TOPOEXT feature to parse the CPUID
leaf 0xb.
The TOPOEXT feature (CPUID 0x80000001 ECX[22]) advertises the support for
Cache Properties leaf 0x8000001d and the CPUID leaf 0x8000001e EAX for
"Extended APIC ID" however support for 0xb was introduced alongside the x2APIC
support not only on AMD [1], but also historically on x86 [2].
Similar to 0xb, the support for extended CPU topology leaf 0x80000026 too does
not depend on the TOPOEXT feature.
The support for these leaves is expected to be confirmed by ensuring
leaf <= {extended_}cpuid_level
and then parsing the level 0 of the respective leaf to confirm EBX[15:0]
(LogProcAtThisLevel) is non-zero as stated in the definition of
"CPUID_Fn0000000B_EAX_x00 [Extended Topology Enumeration]
(Core::X86::Cpuid::ExtTopEnumEax0)" in Processor Programming Reference (PPR)
for AMD Family 19h Model 01h Rev B1 Vol1 [3] Sec. 2.1.15.1 "CPUID Instruction
Functions".
This has not been a problem on baremetal platforms since support for TOPOEXT
(Fam 0x15 and later) predates the support for CPUID leaf 0xb (Fam 0x17[Zen2]
and later), however, for AMD guests on QEMU, the "x2apic" feature can be
enabled independent of the "topoext" feature where QEMU expects topology and
the initial APICID to be parsed using the CPUID leaf 0xb (especially when
number of cores > 255) which is populated independent of the "topoext" feature
flag.
Unconditionally call cpu_parse_topology_ext() on AMD and Hygon processors to
first parse the topology using the XTOPOLOGY leaves (0x80000026 / 0xb) before
using the TOPOEXT leaf (0x8000001e).
While at it, break down the single large comment in parse_topology_amd() to
better highlight the purpose of each CPUID leaf.

Attack vector controls for SSB were missed in the initial attack vector series.
The default mitigation for SSB requires user-space opt-in so it is only
relevant for user->user attacks. Check with attack vector controls when
the command is auto - i.e., no explicit user selection has been done.

Prior to the topology parsing rewrite and the switchover to the new parsing
logic for AMD processors in
c749ce393b8f ("x86/cpu: Use common topology code for AMD"),
the initial_apicid on these platforms was:
- First initialized to the LocalApicId from CPUID leaf 0x1 EBX[31:24].
- Then overwritten by the ExtendedLocalApicId in CPUID leaf 0xb
EDX[31:0] on processors that supported topoext.
With the new parsing flow introduced in
f7fb3b2dd92c ("x86/cpu: Provide an AMD/HYGON specific topology parser"),
parse_8000_001e() now unconditionally overwrites the initial_apicid already
parsed during cpu_parse_topology_ext().
Although this has not been a problem on baremetal platforms, on virtualized AMD
guests that feature more than 255 cores, QEMU zeros out the CPUID leaf
0x8000001e on CPUs with CoreID > 255 to prevent collision of these IDs in
EBX[7:0] which can only represent a maximum of 255 cores [1].
This results in the following FW_BUG being logged when booting a guest
with more than 255 cores:
[Firmware Bug]: CPU 512: APIC ID mismatch. CPUID: 0x0000 APIC: 0x0200
AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming Pub.
24593 Rev. 3.42 [2] Section 16.12 "x2APIC_ID" mentions the Extended
Enumeration leaf 0xb (Fn0000_000B_EDX[31:0])(which was later superseded by the
extended leaf 0x80000026) provides the full x2APIC ID under all circumstances
unlike the one reported by CPUID leaf 0x8000001e EAX which depends on the mode
in which APIC is configured.
Rely on the APIC ID parsed during cpu_parse_topology_ext() from CPUID leaf
0x80000026 or 0xb and only use the APIC ID from leaf 0x8000001e if
cpu_parse_topology_ext() failed (has_topoext is false).
On platforms that support the 0xb leaf (Zen2 or later, AMD guests on
QEMU) or the extended leaf 0x80000026 (Zen4 or later), the
initial_apicid is now set to the value parsed from EDX[31:0].
On older AMD/Hygon platforms that do not support the 0xb leaf but support the
TOPOEXT extension (families 0x15, 0x16, 0x17[Zen1], and Hygon), retain current
behavior where the initial_apicid is set using the 0x8000001e leaf.

Pentium 4's which are INTEL_P4_PRESCOTT (model 0x03) and later have
a constant TSC. This was correctly captured until commit fadb6f569b10
("x86/cpu/intel: Limit the non-architectural constant_tsc model checks").
In that commit, an error was introduced while selecting the last P4
model (0x06) as the upper bound. Model 0x06 was transposed to
INTEL_P4_WILLAMETTE, which is just plain wrong. That was presumably a
simple typo, probably just copying and pasting the wrong P4 model.
Fix the constant TSC logic to cover all later P4 models. End at
INTEL_P4_CEDARMILL which accurately corresponds to the last P4 model.

The current GDS mitigation logic incorrectly returns early when the
attack vector mitigation is turned off, which leads to two problems:
1. CPUs without ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL support are incorrectly marked with
GDS_MITIGATION_OFF when they should be marked as
GDS_MITIGATION_UCODE_NEEDED.
2. The mitigation state checks and locking verification that follow are
skipped, which means:
- fail to detect if the mitigation was locked
- miss the warning when trying to disable a locked mitigation
Remove the early return to ensure proper mitigation state handling. This
allows:
- Proper mitigation classification for non-ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL CPUs
- Complete mitigation state verification
This also addresses the failed MSR 0x123 write attempt at boot on
non-ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL CPUs:

Cross-thread attacks are generally harder as they require the victim to be
co-located on a core. However, with VMSCAPE the adversary targets belong to
the same guest execution, that are more likely to get co-located. In
particular, a thread that is currently executing userspace hypervisor
(after the IBPB) may still be targeted by a guest execution from a sibling
thread.
Issue a warning about the potential risk, except when:
- SMT is disabled
- STIBP is enabled system-wide
- Intel eIBRS is enabled (which implies STIBP protection)

VMSCAPE is a vulnerability that exploits insufficient branch predictor
isolation between a guest and a userspace hypervisor (like QEMU). Existing
mitigations already protect kernel/KVM from a malicious guest. Userspace
can additionally be protected by flushing the branch predictors after a
VMexit.
Since it is the userspace that consumes the poisoned branch predictors,
conditionally issue an IBPB after a VMexit and before returning to
userspace. Workloads that frequently switch between hypervisor and
userspace will incur the most overhead from the new IBPB.
This new IBPB is not integrated with the existing IBPB sites. For
instance, a task can use the existing speculation control prctl() to
get an IBPB at context switch time. With this implementation, the
IBPB is doubled up: one at context switch and another before running
userspace.
The intent is to integrate and optimize these cases post-embargo.

The VMSCAPE vulnerability may allow a guest to cause Branch Target
Injection (BTI) in userspace hypervisors.
Kernels (both host and guest) have existing defenses against direct BTI
attacks from guests. There are also inter-process BTI mitigations which
prevent processes from attacking each other. However, the threat in this
case is to a userspace hypervisor within the same process as the attacker.
Userspace hypervisors have access to their own sensitive data like disk
encryption keys and also typically have access to all guest data. This
means guest userspace may use the hypervisor as a confused deputy to attack
sensitive guest kernel data. There are no existing mitigations for these
attacks.
Introduce X86_BUG_VMSCAPE for this vulnerability and set it on affected
Intel and AMD CPUs.

The SRSO bug can theoretically be used to conduct user->user or guest->guest
attacks and requires a mitigation (namely IBPB instead of SBPB on context
switch) for these. So mark SRSO as being applicable to the user->user and

Additionally, SRSO supports multiple mitigations which mitigate different
potential attack vectors. Some CPUs are also immune to SRSO from
certain attack vectors (like user->kernel).
Use the specific attack vectors requiring mitigation to select the best

An SNP cache coherency vulnerability requires a cache line eviction
mitigation when validating memory after a page state change to private.
The specific mitigation is to touch the first and last byte of each 4K
page that is being validated. There is no need to perform the mitigation
when performing a page state change to shared and rescinding validation.
CPUID bit Fn8000001F_EBX[31] defines the COHERENCY_SFW_NO CPUID bit
that, when set, indicates that the software mitigation for this
vulnerability is not needed.
Implement the mitigation and invoke it when validating memory (making it
private) and the COHERENCY_SFW_NO bit is not set, indicating the SNP
guest is vulnerable.

fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
follows that fix with a series of cleanups.
"cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
allocator.
"mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.
"mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.
"mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
does that.
"mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
also does what it claims.
"mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.
"mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
policy.
"Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
"mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
reliably.
"drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().
"mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
tunable to control the update interval.
"Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
does what is claims.
"mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
directly.
"use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.
"__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
cleans up __folio_split()!
"Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
with large folios.
"selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
does some cleanup work in the selftests code.
"tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.
"selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
subset"

- Simplify SRSO and make mitigation types selection more versatile

- Add the second part of the attack vector controls which provide a lot
friendlier user interface to the speculation mitigations than
selecting each one by one as it is now.
Instead, the selection of whole attack vectors which are relevant to
the system in use can be done and protection against only those

In future we intend to change the vm_flags_t type, so it isn't correct for

AMD Cyan Skillfish (Family 17h, Model 47h, Stepping 0h) has an issue
that causes system oopses and panics when performing TLB flush using
INVLPGB.
However, the problem is that that machine has misconfigured CPUID and
should not report the INVLPGB bit in the first place. So zap the
kernel's representation of the flag so that nothing gets confused.
